Counter-Strike: Global Offensive v5 "Who the fuck is Sergei?"

Bleh, just give me my gold coin.

The gold can wait. I just need to do it 100%

I don't understand why ESEA is so popular. The average player is far worse than what you'll ever see in MM. On top of the much more frequent raging, I've had people fucking [i]run forward[/i] when I try to crossfire with them so they can get all the R dubs. And you have to pay for that.

I don't think that's true.

[Altimor]

[QUOTE=:3c;48175559]I don't think that's true.[/QUOTE]

The worst I've gotten in a while in MM is a team that didn't talk much. I can only think of one time I've gotten deliberately uncooperative players like I have several times in ESEA.

[litestrike]

If ESEA were to sponsor a team that represents them best they would most definitely sponsor CLG.

I picture all of my ESEA teammates/enemies either as Tarik or steel.

ESEA is popular because of its history. After cevo dropped CS, ESEA was the only option for pugs/new teams trying to get into the scene. I also feel you're much more likely to come across higher skilled players as well in esea.

I'm not GE so I might be wrong, but since valve has matchmaking of course the average teammate will be better than ESEA.

[buhbang]

ESEA Pugs aren't even fun. I recommend only using it to scrim. that's where esea thrives in.

I got this friend who plays comp with me and he always gets flustered after about 2-3 match losses. He claims they hack and then he starts doing rather poorly as a result of all this fluster.
The thing is he's not too bad when he's calm, he's just not usually calm. How do I deal with someone like that and do you have someone like that in your match making lobby list?

[igamiwarr]

I would love to use ESEA again but I cant justify the subscription after the update with the constant running client and driver. No idea what they were thinking when they pushed that shit through.

This guy was making weird, broken English calls in chat all game, but this one was definitely my favorite. :v:

Encourage him to get a robot waifu. Make him keep a wallpaper of her visible on his second monitor while he plays. When my anger starts hurting my performance, I remember that my precious killing machine would never be impressed by that, and I recollect myself.

sadly I agree but I can't stand MM. I got global after finally winning like 6 in a row without running into a hacker (which seems to be less and less with the rank updates and whatnot so thats a plus). Faceit takes too long to queue and has too many people who rage quit or are pretty bad players and I just don't like CEVO that much...

so ESEA is a must for me and decided I had to do the update :(

if you're honestly below like DMG the odds of running into hackers every few games is low. Smurfs are more of the possibility if the people are actually destroying your friend.
He needs to stop being a pussy since it's happened to everyone, and when I was like MG level which is where I was placed and I would get destroyed I would watch the demos and see how I could've done better in x situation.

Good lord let's keep this to the Megaten thread. Besides, my advice applies to any combat android waifu.

Now that we can agree on.

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;48165839]Shadowplay is good if you want to use the shadow feature. It's less taxing when recording, too, but the video quality is usually really meh[/QUOTE]
Quality is pretty good for me, I only record short clips.

Recording last 5 minutes is godlike so I can't really complain.

[Januzuzu]

I record with OBS since I lost all of my old programs when I had to reinstall my windows.
Now I have to use [B]Windows Movie Maker[/B] for editing because I lost Vegas.

Woop. I haven't been MGE for ages. I've won the last 4-5 games in a row so maybe I'm on a good streak :v:

Also weirdly I can't download the demo for this match as it says it's corrupt.

Normally that fixes itself if you wait half an hour or an hour.

Somebody sold a fucking flip knife for 0,04 cent on the market.

Is GN1 like DMG, where the rank has a huge difference in skill between the lower and upper ends? Because my first few games were piss easy albeit with shit teammates who didn't know what spray control was but after that, everybody was extremely competent, with at least one person on each team knowing specific smokes and strats, and making good calls. Most were pretty friendly too.

I personally use VSDC. It's nowhere near as good as Vegas or Premiere but for a free editor, it's really good and way better than Movie Maker.

Comebacks really test my nerves and make me stressed as shit.

And Ipkane's responses to all the questions about the update:

for ex.
"Can we be certain that the client won't do anything bad?"
"The only certain thing in life is death" <-- Ipkane's response

I think it was like that, I don't remember completely

I do notice a difference between my Naga vs cheap, regular mice, but would the same be true if I replaced my cheap keyboard with a better one or is that a waste of time?

The response might be better on a Gamer™ keyboard. Hand movement between keys got a lot smoother for me after I got a new keyboard.

With my old keyboard which was super shit I could only press like 3 keys at most at the same time, so if I want to walk and go forward and to the left or right its going to be fine, but want to switch using the number keys? Forget about that. It also had no definite point when the key was actually pressed so you can press it in but it won't register as pressed.

Have been using my Logitech G105 for over 2 years and for around 50€ this thing is fantastic.

Even if it doesnt improve your gameplay, a nice mechenical keyboard is such a pleasure in the daylie life.

Finally bought a knife because unboxing is too expensive with the terrible luck I have lately.

It'll probably take few months for me to trade from here to Bayonet Doppler phase 2 though.

obviously not as significant as a mouse, but it'd probably be more comfortable and it depends on how many keys your keyboard lets you press at a time currently

I liked my cherry mx blue switches but when I got a new keyboard with cherry mx reds theres just no going back honestly, blue just feels to clunky and weird to me now, I think counter strafing would feel better on any mech though.
